For Silicon Valley giants, getting ahead in the artificial intelligence race requires more than building the biggest, most capable models; they’re also competing to get third-party developers to build new applications based on their technology.

Now, Meta is teaming up with Amazon’s cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services, on an initiative designed to do just that.

The program will provide six months of technical support from both companies’ engineers and $200,000 in AWS cloud computing credits each to 30 US startups looking to build AI tools on Meta’s Llama AI model. The partnership is set to be unveiled at AWS Summit in New York City on Wednesday.
